12 years. 135+ five-star reviews. Thousands of hours of sleep reclaimed and 100's of babies born. 🥂✨

Today we celebrate the 12th anniversary of Nurtured Foundation, and we are feeling incredibly grateful. What started as a small dream to support local families has grown into a village that stretches from Avon to Chagrin Falls, and down through Hudson and Akron.

To the parents who have invited us into your homes at 10:00 PM for an overnight shift, allowed us to have the honor of supporting you during your birth, or sat with us through a sleep consultation when you were at your wit's end—thank you. Your trust is the reason we’re still here over a decade later.

We are so proud to have maintained a 4.9-star reputation with over 135 reviews across Google and Facebook. It’s a reminder that while the "fourth trimester" is tough, having the right support makes all the difference.

Help us celebrate! 🎈

If we’ve supported your family at any point over the last 12 years, we’d love to hear from you in the comments! Whether it was a tip that finally got your toddler to sleep or a doula who made your homecoming peaceful, your stories mean the world to us.

And if you’re a new parent (or a parent-to-be) looking for your own village, we’d love to be part of your story, too. Click the link in our bio to see how we’re supporting the next generation of Northeast Ohio families.

You don’t have to choose between your baby’s emotional safety and getting some sleep. 🌙�

Real research shows that when parents are gently involved in helping babies learn to sleep, babies rest better and stay securely attached.

Better sleep doesn’t mean less love.�It means more rested, present parents — and that matters. 🤍

We are so excited to welcome Brooke to the Nurtured Foundation family!

Brooke is a certified birth & postpartum doula, a mama to three beautiful girls, and someone whose heart for families runs deep. Her passion for supporting new and expecting parents isn’t just something she learned — it’s something she’s carried with her for as long as she can remember.

🤍 Overnight newborn care
🤍 Multiples
🤍 Postpartum support
🤍 Gentle, nurturing guidance for growing families

To Brooke, this work isn’t “just a job” — it’s part of who she is. Her goal is to walk alongside families so they feel confident, supported, and truly cared for during birth and the postpartum season.

We are beyond grateful to have her on our team and cannot wait for our families to experience the calm, wisdom, and love she brings into every home.
